Final from Nashville. Defensive rebounding was the downfall for the Colonels tonight. Another good season for Coach Neubauer and the Colonels.

EKU never rebounds...they try to make up for it by turning you over and either scoring in transition or outgunning you from three. Didn't quite work tonight. Knipp had an off game on offense and they forgot about Stutz in the second half.

EKU had this game under control when I went to sleep last night. Didn't get to finish the game. Woke up this morning and find out they lost. Bummer!!

Seemed like Belmont only shot 3's the first half...

Taylor Barnett from LCA had a nice game for Belmont.

Rick Byrd has had some success with the Kentucky kids he has recruited:

Ryan Steger - Montgomery Co

Keaton Belcher - Pendleton Co

Wes Burtner - Clark Co

Andrew Preston - Clark Co

Taylor Barnett - LCA

 

Good players.

I though I heard them say on the broadcast that he was from Lexington. He can shoot it. He had a huge 3 as the shot clock ran down in the second half.
